nerdtree-git-plugin VS vim-plug

I personally use nerdtree. Add nerdtree-git-plugin too, that's nice when looking at your project (for files, use vim-gitgutter).

git-nerdtree

nerdtree-git-plugin - a plugin to show git status in nerdtree

plugins=( "$HOME/.vim/pack/vendor/start/vim-airline" "https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline.git" "$HOME/.vim/pack/vendor/start/nerdtree" "https://github.com/preservim/nerdtree.git" "$HOME/.vim/pack/vendor/start/nerdtree-git-plugin" "https://github.com/Xuyuanp/nerdtree-git-plugin.git" "$HOME/.vim/pack/packages/start/fzf" "https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.git" "$HOME/.vim/pack/packages/start/fzf.vim" "https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim.git" "$HOME/.vim/pack/tpope/start/fugitive" "https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive.git/" "$HOME/.vim/pack/vendor/start/vim-gitgutter" "https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter.git/" ) echo "\n >>> START plugins installation " for i in ${!plugins[@]}; do if (( i % 2 == 0 )) then # echo $i folder="${plugins[$i]}" url="${plugins[$i+1]}" if [ ! -d "$folder" ] ; then git clone "$url" "$folder" else git -C $folder pull fi fi vim -u NONE -c "helptags $folder/doc" -c q done echo " >>> END plugins installation "

vim-plug

Did you really install VimTeX? Did you run :PlugInstall? Ensure you installed and set up vim-plug correctly (https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug). If VimTeX is installed, it should be installed to '~/.vim/plugged', thus you can open a terminal, then cd ~/.vim/plugged/vimtex and you should find the files there.

If you're determined to use vim for some reason, I'd suggest checking out vim-plug: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug. Quite useful for installing and maintaining all of the plugins that you're going to need to get vim to provide even a subset of the features offered by modern editors.

I encourage you to add plugins to your vim (tip: use vim-plug). Use vimawesome.com for inspiration.

Personally, I like https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug

But the plugin manager https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug can also install from offline sources, without accessing Github:

To get started, simply install the plugin using your favorite plugin manager, such as vim-plug or packer.nvim. You can find detailed installation instructions in the README.

Not sure if Vundle did anything particularly fancy, but I'm using vim-plug [0] and have no complaints. It stays out of my way to the point that I had to look at my .vimrc just now to make sure that's what I was using.

I chose to move on to vim-plug and can report it was a simple switch from Vundle.
